There golf info page says “Spikeless Shoes Only”. Are soft spikes allowed? I’ll have my Trues just in case.

They just mean no steel spikes I bet.

Good luck with that. I hear he's a cheap skate.

and remember...no halter tops. Also note that you need Bermuda length shorts for our members who like to show their chiseled bods off.

Seems fine. I feel like having played at RNK last year, a little rain isn’t going to bother me.

I plan to figure out some sort of team game for tomorrow. Quite likely $20 from each person (please bring $5 bills if possible).

  • $5 gross skins
  • $5 net skins
  • $10 team game (maybe $5 for the front and $5 for the back).

We’ll probably do something like 75% of handicaps and count 2 out of 4 scores for the hole or something like that. Maybe stableford points or something, I don’t know. I’ll know by the morning.

    • Day 34 - 2024-11-03 Ten minutes of work before Junior Elite this morning. Woke up "early" because of the time change.
    • Day 185 (03 Nov 24) - More work with the irons, well just the 6i, hitting into the net focused on setup and tempo.  Really more about the latter rather than former.  Slowed tempo to more of short punch swing, contact much improved.  
    • I ended up playing Shingle Creek GC in Orlando bc what I found online said The Magnolia Course had some temporary greens and/or teeboxes.  It was just a month after Hurricane Milton, though Orlando was mostly spared. Shingle Creek was only 2.5 miles from our hotel, so very convenient.  The entire course was in great shape, and the staff was friendly.  I shot a ho-hum 82 from 6300 yds, mostly bc my putting currently sucks.  We didn't stay for lunch bc my wife and I had massages booked at the hotel and we were on a time crunch.
    • Well this has been a disaster of a summer, regarding playing. Played the least amount of golf in a summer since 2008. Yips on short game to partial wedges came in full hog. Full swing continued to be ok. Putting was the best part of my game. Handicap went from +2.5 to now 0.0. The number of rounds were low because I taught much more. Numbers are up over 50% from last year. A great thing but my own game was sacrificed and it annoys me a little. Short game really suffered from lack of play and practice.  I had rounds where I would lay sod over the ball, from the rough with a decent lie, looking at a simple chip from barely off green uphill to a pin. It would happen several times a round. I resorted to putting or using a 2iron to chip with. Obviously the less short game shots meant full swing was good. But, if it was off a little, I was screwed. My right wrist, elbow and knee all buckled and jerked right before impact. I couldn’t stop it. Tried everything I could think of. I went through a week occasionally that something would work, but never stuck. I remember not even having a club in hand. Just looking down at the ball and knowing I was in trouble.  A couple weeks ago, I watched a short game chef video on chipping and it has really helped turn my short game around. Yips aren’t completely gone, but very minimal now. Most of my issues now are distance control as the flight is slightly different. It was clear that I was too steep before. But I also realized I was decelerating quite a bit and trying to compress it for spin. Now, I’m much more neutral in setup. I’m really focusing in the very beginning of my take away and making my chest do everything there. If hands do anything to start, it will be a yip chunk or skull. I’m Trying to take shorter backswings and accelerate more through the ball without a feeling of “compressing” it. Allowing my draw biased motion to do its thing.  It’s resulting in much higher ball flights which means distance control up to 75yds will have to be reworked. The ball still has plenty of spin. I’m also able to use any club now to chip with versus feeling stuck with one.  My goal this off season is to try and break 60 from the forward tees at my home course. It will focus my game on tee shots and short game. Putting has become almost second nature and am not worried about it. Most of all, I need to figure out a better balance next year between work and play. Maintaining a high level of play is important to me (especially to my stress levels 😆).
